by Middle East and Europe | published on Mar 24, 2015

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (UN OCHA oPt) publishes a monthly Humanitarian Bulletin. The current Bulletin for February is now available.

Highlights:

In the Gaza Strip, 58,000 people have so far bought restricted building materials for repairs, but almost none of them are IDPs whose homes were destroyed or severely damaged.
Israel eases access restrictions in and out of Gaza, including a rise in the quota of exit permits for Palestinian merchants and approval for the transfer of textiles and furniture to the West Bank.
Infrastructure works launched in one of the sites designated for the “relocation” of Bedouins in Area C of the West Bank, alongside the issuance of multiple stop-work orders against donor-funded structures in Bedouin communities at risk.
